When Commodore Vanderbilt asked Samuel Barton to take the treasuryship of the former's steam ship company, he hesitated on the ground that he was not a bookkeeper.

This little lady began to find things very dull, last November, and was pining for somo amusement with which to while away the long winter evenings. At last she per suaded her husband, who is well known hero as a poker playor, to in itiate her into the mystories of poker. This he did' on the solemn under standing that Ehe should never tell a sonl that she conld play the game, and never indulge in a band except with himself. The promise was read ily given, and up to last night had been faithfully kept. Last evening, however, there was a social party at their house, and Miss S , from Tacoma, was present. This lady goes in pretty heavily for the ssstbetic Bostonian conversation, and re marked in a loud voice at dinner: "Now, what sight can bo better than two pairs .of laviugjouls?"

John Day, one of the finest streams of Eastern Oregon, rises in the Blue mountains and running west and south, empties Into tbo Columbia river some forty miles above The Dalles. John Day was bo named after an old trapper, a native pf Kentucky, who died at Astoria about a century ago. Mr. Day was an em ploye of Mr. Crook of tbo Northwest ern Fur company and who, in com pany with his emplojer bad crossed the plains aldng with tho first voyag ers; "Day becoming sick on Snake river about Fort Hall, Mr. Crook re fused to leave mm and remained by his side Bomo twenty days "bef jre he was able to travel. Daring that time their companions bad made such headway that it was impossible to overtake them. They followed on but snows over toel: Jbem iind"tbrir exposnro was- terriljle. Thev finalh reached Walla Walla. The Indians I llin.n I.Anlnrl fl.n.. -. I mllti nml I IUC1U Wl.llt.Ll 1UU111 lll IWUtlf. UHU assisted them on tho way. At tho month of the John Day river thry were oorpoucred by a band of Indi ans, robbed, stripped and turned loeso to starve. Not'oven permitted to re tain their flint and steel, the' moun taineers match, with which the might make a fire to keep warm dur ing the chilly March uigbts. Tn""thr: pitiful plight they attempted (o get, back to tho friendly Walla Wallians and had made about eighty miles along tho river, when fortunntely they met Mr.-Stowart and followers in canoes on their way to Astoria. They took the unfortunate men in, clothed, fed, and carried !!:-iudown tho river. In Juno 1812. Kobrt Ste.vart was selected to carrry dispatches from Fort Astoria to New York, across the continent. This was a dangerous enterprise and he selected four tiusty and well-tried men as companions in the voyage. They wcro Ben JoDes. John Day, A. Vallar and F. LeCIerc. The company left Astoria on the 2'Jlh of Judo and on the morning of July 2, John Day began to show somo strange freaks and in a fc days be came so crazy that he several times attempted bis own life. When they had proceeded as far inland as the stream that now bears bis name it be came evident to his companions that he would be no better and that thus burdened it would bo impossible for thorn to proceed. They thoreforo contracted with somo friendly Indi ans to convoy him back to tho fort. His frank, bravo and loyal qualities had made him a universal favorito and it was with tho utmost concern and tears of regret that his comrades saw tbo poor feilow tied in tho canoe nnd carried away. Tho Indians per formed their task faithfully and turned him over'to his friend? at As toria. But his mind was completely shattered and his constitution broken and ho soon after died, and was laid to rest whero tho Columbia and Pacific join iu singing his eternal requiem. Capital Journal. John Day's river, in this county, is also named after the same individual, thu3 making two aj reams in the earn o stato named the same, and aftej- the same man. 1 " '' Society bu Jos Bidder The Boweraocks entertained erv- beautif ully'at the" dance .given after the barn raising Friday night, and Jug nidge society was well represent ed. It is to bo regretted, though. that the Stover's Mill people, when they aro honored and elevated by an invitation into Jug Bidgo society. cannot conduct themselves in a be coming manner. What possible excuse can their be for two fullgrown men like Sandy (xrinie3 and Wait,.! israytogle carrying a polecat, secreted mp rubber sack, and letting tho animal 6nt just as refreshments were being served? It does seem to us that discourtesy to a host and lioness conld go but little beyond this, and wo are astea to denounce the net tn our most vigorous style. This wo do here and now, and impalo the per petrators upon the sharp lance of public opinion. Nothing had occurred up to thi9 time to mar the pleasures of tho occasion, unless it was the regretablo dispute that occurred between Sam McKce and Israel Langfelt regarding their right to dance with Satah Bil ingsley. This di'sputoended iuaknock down, but wo must give tho youug men credit for repairing to tho or chard to enjoy their brutal fistenfis instead of having it out in the parlor, as Bob Johnson and Van Miller did. It was bad euongh for twenty or thir ty young men to go to the orchard to seo tho fight, thus breaking up tho dance for a time, but that certainly is no reason why somo of the young ladies should go, too. Wo do not believe in so much pugilism at onr littlo sooial affairs, and hore af ter tho power of the press will bo brought to bear to break it up If any of these Kilrains and Snllivans don't like this they know who the Judge Bidgo society reporter is. and they can be accommodated with a little bear dance on very short notice.
